Could you build this?
Partial A basic wavelet codec and its UI can be vibe-coded, but a competitive low-latency, block-free codec depends on signal-processing research and careful performance engineering.
What it would actually take: The stack would be C/C++ or Rust with SIMD intrinsics, a custom wavelet transform, entropy coding, and rate control. The hard part is designing a block-free scheme that is both low-latency and high-quality, which requires codec and DSP research expertise plus extensive benchmarking across hardware.
